From the Skies to the Ancient Escarpment

Dare to rise above the ordinary and let your spirit soar with the helicopter over the ancient landscapes of Nitmiluk National Park, home to one of Australia's most extraordinary natural wonders. On this unforgettable helicopter journey, you'll discover all 13 gorges as they unfold beneath you, carved over millions of years by the winding Katherine River.

Departing from the Nitmiluk Gorge Helipad, you'll ascend past the Visitor Information Centre and the boat ramp where river cruises begin, before crossing the mouth of the gorge and tracking the full 17 kilometres of this spectacular landscape. Towering ochre sandstone cliffs, secluded waterways, and inviting rock pools create a constantly changing panorama below.

Midway through your journey, you'll land on a remote escarpment within the gorge, stepping out to fully absorb the scale, silence, and timeless beauty of this remarkable place before taking to the skies once more.
